    One can admire Wilson for his progressive reforms, for his idealism and eloquence about America\u2019s role in the world, as I do, without sugarcoating his displays of political incompetence as a president of war. In wartime, Americans have a right to expect that the bravery of U.S. troops is matched by brilliant political leadership in the White House. Too often in the past, World War I anniversaries have been transformed into paeans to Woodrow Wilson. This time, let\u2019s keep it focused on the troops.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
